Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain held a solidarity stand in front of the United Nations Palace and in several languages, during which they renewed the call for the release of political prisoners from Bahrain's prisons, on the sidelines of the 43rd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Participants carried pictures of prominent political detainees, including Hassan Mushaima, Abdel-Wahab Hussein, human rights activist Abdul Hadi Al-Khawaja, Hajar Mansour, human rights defender Nabil Rajab, and former Secretary-General of the Al-Wefaq Society, Sheikh Ali Salman. They delivered their solidarity words in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.
The organization indicated that it will provide during the course of the session many interventions and events on the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the rest of the Gulf countries.
On February 14, it organized solidarity stops in several European cities and capitals and in Beirut, during which it called for the release of political prisoners and the "ending of the repression" against prisoners in the Jaw prison, the Dry Dock, and the Isa Town prison, and to provide them with full health care.
